Few Questions in Mind..

<p>Hi, I’m an International student and I have three questions that need to be answered.</p>

<li><p>Obviously, I already sent my confirmation fee with housing prepayment but is it possible to change my housing/dorm preferences such as canceling FE or changing East to West? I know the site says that I have until June 23rd to change my mind but can I cancel FE? Can I also add my roommate’s GTID?</p></li>
<li><p>Since I live outside US, I will most likely attend the last FASET orientation, which is on August 15th, I believe. But since I’ll be registering my classes on the last orientation, will I not have as many choices to choose my specific professors or courses? (I really want to choose the best professors out there, you know?)</p></li>
<li><p>I know that there are many threads on West campus vs. East campus but I would like to know exactly how far is the freshmen classes/buildings from the West campus? From what I heard, I know that freshmen classes/buildings are closer to East campus but should this prevent me from living on the West? Also, IF I do live on the West campus, do most freshmen students walk to classes or do they ride a bus everyday?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I hope I made my questions clear, and I would appreciate your help! Thanks.</p>

<p>For number 2, I know they pre-register you for some certain classes based on your major, so I wouldn't worry TOO much. Even if you don't go to FASET, you can still register online the week before class starts, and even then (like I said), you're pre-registered for some basic classes.</p>

<p>^I'm not 100% sure on that, btw.</p>

<li>To be guaranteed housing you should have sent a housing application at <a href="https://gtwebapps.gatech.edu/cfprod/housing/h2005/login.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://gtwebapps.gatech.edu/cfprod/housing/h2005/login.cfm&lt;/a>
You can probably still do it if you haven't, probably won't be guaranteed though. And you can change your roommate and dorm preferences after you submit it from what I remember.</li>
</ol>

<p>Yup, I just checked and realized that I can change. Thanks, Prothero.</p>

<p>Can anyone answer my question #3?</p>

<p>It's at least a 5 minute walk from the West, but only a few blocks, if that, for East.</p>

<p>Good info., cb21. Thanks.</p>

<p>They designate a certain number of slots for each FASET group in each freshman class, so those going to later FASETs have the same chances as students going to earlier sessions. </p>

<p>I've walked all over the campus and really found most freshman classes are about in the middle between east and west side dorms. Classes in Howey or IC are closer to west - Skiles might be slightly closer to east. My son lived on west as a freshman and loved it and east (North Ave Apt) his second year. There are good things to be said for both sides.</p>
